Seeing Balaku looking at him in surprise, Duziki smiled and said, "Balaku, you may not know that I have completely changed my policy to M Country. Do you know how I changed?" Balaku said in a daze: "I don't know, but judging from Powell's expression of eating people, you probably haven't changed well."

Du Ziqi said: "It may be the case for the people of M, but it is not for us Saudi Arabia. I have cancelled all the preferential policies that the businessmen of M before. From now on, if they want to continue doing business in Saudi Arabia, they must compete fairly with our Saudi merchants and other foreign merchants to survive!" Baraku slowly came back to his senses for a long time and said quietly: "I understand why Powell's face turned pale and Sake's face was not good. It's true that you cut off their financial path!"

Du Ziji said indignantly: "You also know that we blindly cater to and even please the merchants of M country, elevating the status of the merchants of M country to an unattainable height. Even our Saudi businessmen were suppressed, let alone merchants from other countries. Now, our Saudi Arabia has become a paradise for merchants of M country. They are like madmen, making money in our country, and I don't know how many merchants of our Saudi Arabia have been forced to die, and how many foreign merchants who are full of confidence and ready to show their strength in Saudi Arabia. Our Saudi business has been unable to revitalize for a long time because of our past policies, on the one hand, raising tigers, causing the arrogance and arrogance of the merchants of M country today. On the other hand, it has also hurt the hearts of the merchants of the country and other foreign merchants! I can no longer tolerate such a situation and continue to exist. I want to reform, I want to suppress the merchants of M country!"

Balaku smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice: "Duziji, I know what you said just now, and I have been deeply worried about this situation. I know that you did this for the sake of Saudi Arabia, but it is probably not the time to do so. Our position in OPEC is not stable enough. For example, Iran and Kuwait have the strength to challenge us. If there weren't M people supporting us now, our situation would probably be very difficult. So, I think at this time, we can't offend them, and we still have to be patient."

"Honest, I've been enduring! Until now, Powell is going to ride on my neck and shit. When do you want me to endure?" Du Ziji waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Baraku, if we keep holding on, and when we think we don't have to endure, maybe we will never have a chance to turn over again. I also know that there is a great risk of doing this, but it's better to hurt early than late, and the longer it's more troublesome, and it's better to cut the mess quickly and solve it as soon as possible! I've thought that the people of M may cause trouble for us on oil issues, but oil is the lifeline of M country. If the people of M country are doing things about oil, it's like playing with fire and not burning others, but burning them first. The people of M themselves have to consider it first."

Du Ziji's words make sense. In the information society, when the industrial society is still at its peak, the importance of oil is irreplaceable. M Country is like a huge machine, and oil is an important energy to promote the rapid operation of this machine. Without oil for a day, the machine cannot operate for a day. I am afraid that even the people of M themselves cannot bear the huge losses. Balaku nodded gently and said, "You are right. No matter what, I am a Saudi, and I support your decision!"

Du Ziji patted his shoulder with gratitude and smiled: "Actually, it seems dangerous for me to do this, but it is not the case. We are not fighting alone. In the Middle East, in addition to the pro-US countries, we are our potential strategic partners in confronting M countries. More importantly, we have a strong supporter, that is China!"

"Huaxia!?" Baraku looked very surprised. But Du Ziji nodded with a confident smile and said, "Yes, China will be our greatest dependence! Tell you the truth, I gave all the preferential policies that were originally enjoyed by the merchants of M countries to the Chinese people." "Doesn't this mean that our Saudi government's foreign policy has changed from pro-US to pro-China? No wonder Powell looked ugly." Baraku said suddenly. Du Ziji asked with a smile: "Why, do you think this is not good? In the foreseeable future, China will replace M countries to become the world's largest economic entity, which has been recognized by countless economists and cannot be questioned. More importantly, Chinese people are humble and gentle, generous and not arrogant, and are a hundred times better than the arrogant M countries. Now even the country is gradually changing its attitude towards China, we must also understand affairs!"

Duziji had basically convinced Balaku, and Balaku nodded frequently and expressed his agreement. "By the way, Balaku, when I held a cabinet meeting today, it is said that you were meeting a very important Chinese guest. Who is he? What did you talk about?" Duziji suddenly changed his tone and asked curiously. Balaku said with an Oh, saying, "It was a Chinese person introduced to me by Chinese Ambassador Shen Zhenxin. He looked like a businessman. However, the talk between us was not pleasant, so I drove him away from home!"

After hearing Balaku's words, Du Ziji said dissatisfiedly: "Balaku, how can you treat Chinese guests like this? This is completely contrary to the foreign policy I am promoting now. The other party was introduced by Ambassador Shen Zhenxin. Doing this is not equivalent to not giving Shen Zhenxin face. If he holds a grudge, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?" Balaku smiled bitterly: "I didn't know at that time that you had changed your policy, not to mention that what the Chinese businessman talked to me was even more outrageous. Even now, if I ask me to talk to him again, I will still do this!"

"What did you talk about?" Duziki couldn't help asking. Barakku said in a deep voice: "You should know that a Longteng Energy Group has just been established in Iraq. This group has bought a large number of oil fields in Iraq. They have adopted a large number of new technologies and equipment, and greatly improved oil production efficiency. As soon as this was launched, the daily output was close to that of Saudi Arabia. It can be said that it is a potential powerful opponent of Saudi Arabia. The current oil market is mostly controlled by OPEC. If Longteng's oil wants to go public, we must reduce part of the output so that the real oil market will not be disturbed. The other party obviously understands this. He talks to me about it in hopes that Saudi Arabia can give up part of its 30% share to them and give up a world for their oil. You also know that this directly harms the interests of our country. How could I agree?"

After hearing Balaku's words, Duzigi fell into silence. Oil is the lifeblood of Saudi Arabia, at least now. Reducing production means reducing the income of Saudi people. This matter is too big and cannot be decided by a democratically elected president. However, in Duzigi's heart, he still hopes that Saudi Arabia can reduce part of its output. It is certainly a reason to establish a good relationship with China, but more importantly, Duzigi's innate sense of crisis. Oil has allowed the Saudis to live a prosperous life, but at the same time it has also made the Saudis strongly dependent on oil without realizing it. This can be seen from the data that oil accounts for more than 90% of Saudi Arabia's GDP...

Except for oil-related oil production, refining and other chemical industries, Saudi Arabia has almost no industry that it can mention, and even a large part of sensitive industries rely entirely on foreign countries, especially M countries. This is like people choking their throats. You will never know when the other party will suddenly strangle you to death. Whenever you think of this, Du Ziji is like sitting on the tip of a needle, sweating all over. What's more, Saudi Arabia now has sufficient oil resources and can live a wealthy life, but this is obviously only temporary, because oil is a non-renewable energy after all, and it will be less exploitable. What should Saudi Arabia do when the day the oil is completely drained?

Based on this consideration, Duziji has begun to consciously change his national policy since he came to power. The agriculture that Saudis disdained was developed rapidly in Saudi Arabia, and has become self-sufficient today and has become the largest food producer in the Middle East. Through the agricultural exhibition, Duziji realized that Saudi Arabia's simple reliance on oil can be changed. This certainly gave him confidence, but it also made him feel pressure. Every country has conservatives, and Saudi Arabia is no exception, and the power of conservatives is quite stubborn and huge. In the process of promoting a series of agricultural exhibitions, Duziji has been under heavy pressure sometimes so heavy that he can hardly bear it. Fortunately, Balaku, this Saudi power-oriented figure firmly supports him, otherwise he would not know whether it would create the current situation.

Although there is no deep worries like Duziki, Balaku, as a wise and long-term businessman, knows that if he continues to develop without seeking change, Saudi Arabia will sooner or later face a catastrophic or even devastating moment. If he had not realized this, he would not have supported Duziki so firmly. Seeing Duziki lower his eyebrows and pondering, while glanced at him thoughtfully from time to time. After partnering with Duziki for so many years, Balaku already knew his temperament quite well, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You are not planning to let me agree to the Chinese people's request, right?"
